CIA Actively Assisted Suharto's Genocide

CIA Actively Assisted Suharto's Genocide

Mainstream media coverage of the unlamented Suharto, mass murderer and kleptocrat par excellence, has conceded that the West turned a blind eye to his murderous excesses, which killed well over a million people during his 30+ year reign of terror.

That is a willful distortion of the facts. The West, in the shape of the US Central Intelligence Agency, actively aided and abetted Suharto’s “anti-Communist” genocide by which he came to power and consolidated his rule in the 1960s.

For the details of this still unpunished crime against humanity, check out Peace Researcher 25, March 2002, Special Issue, “Ghosts Of A Genocide: The CIA, Suharto And Terrorist Culture”, by Dennis Small. It can be read online at:
